thinking about hitting yankee fleet for some pollock action this weekend. reports look good. anyone want to load up the freezer with some fillets? at this point sun looks like the day

NIKO, if you ever go during the WEEK Im -in just PM
GOOD LUCK GOOD FISHIN

you still going?

couldn't find anyone interested in going so i bailed and went smelt fishing at 0darkthirty. cold and windy and no smelts but plenty of macks around

Sorry Niko, slave drivers at work decided to move annual reviews ahead 2 months and i have 15 to do so i couldnt go.

How did Togging go?

togging went about as well - ended up working. this fall has sucked all around, just didn't get a chance to put the time in. the fish will pay in the spring

hell yea they will, i cant wait. im twitching already

niko I'll probably be going the weekend after thanksgiving... Slammer pollock are a blast.

I went yesterday and it was a slam . . . all over some rough bottom that ate jigs like candy. That and double-headers shredding too light leaders . . . but not mine - I was using 150 pound test :uhuh:

We ended up getting back to the dock an hour and a half late cause we had to bob around outside the harbor while the 3 mates cut the last of the fish - took then over three hours to cut fish.

There were about 50 on the CLipper and between bodies, gear and coolers things were a little "tight" .. . Josh, George and Anthony worked their butts off gaffing, tangles and everything else . . . we had a moon tide so we had to contend with that and some tangles were inevitable but most managed OK.

Everyone that knew which end of the rod to hold had 10 + fish - mostly all in the teens - pool fish was 26 or so. All fish were on jigs and teasers - bait did nothing.

If anyone goes I recommend a long strong leader - with no teaser - you'll catch plenty of fish with the jig alone, and avoid many of the tangles adn botton obsctuctions as well. As for jigs, use the cheapest 12 - 16 ounce diamond jigs you have.

Sorry - no pictures.

nice report :). allright i'm going next weekend. any haddock come over the rails or was the capt just looking for pollock

Niko,
Count me in for some pollock, oops,
that my last name, if you go this
weekend after Thanksgiving.
Catch me here.

If you do macks or smelt again count me in.

plan on sunday mr pollock. i allready lined up a babysitter. sounds good jay - maybe some cold weather schoolies

Niko: keep me in the loop for Sunday.

Didn't you go on a walkabout?

Activating this thread to keep it at the top of
the page. Sunday fishing trip.

What is the targetted ship? I might be able to venture forth.

Yeah, if I can weigh in on this, what's the details? Boat, Harbor, etc.?

Not sure I will be around, but used to fish a lot of pollock and if timing works right and you wouldn't mind another, would be interested in the details ... thanks

Anybody going to buy tickets in advance, on-line?

yeh looks windy but the seas look light. in those big boats it wont be bad. it's a long winter. ronnie let's go monday or togging

Niko,

different locations. What do you
suggest?? Full day of heavy seas is
going to be rough.
